Geriatric dosage handbook

Todd P. Semla, Judith L. Beizer, Martin D. Higbee

Updates to this edition include: 25 new drug monographs; updated appendix content: comparative drug charts, heart failure (systolic), hyperlipidemia management, immunization recommendations, and osteoporosis management. This handbook follows a dictionary-like format, with brand and generic drug names alphabetically organized and cross-referenced by page number to the generic drug monograph. Within monographs, geriatric-sensitive information includes content on drug interactions and drug dosing in the elderly, in adults, and in patients with renal or hepatic impairment. With this edition, route-specific monographs are introduced: systemic, nasal, ophthalmic, otic, and topical routes are included. These monographs offer refined drug information for point-of-care use.--From cover p. [4].
